The Russell Microcap Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the U.S. equity market. Membership in the index is based on market capitalization and current index membership, according to the company's statement.

"BTCS's inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index marks an important step in our growth trajectory," said Charles Allen, CEO of BTCS. "We believe this third-party validation will help us broaden our reach and introduce new audiences to our unique story as the world's oldest public blockchain company that's been laser-focused on Ethereum infrastructure for nearly five years."

BTCS operates blockchain infrastructure including staking and block building services. The company runs a block-building operation called Builder+ and operates validator nodes across multiple proof-of-stake networks. It has also developed ChainQ, an AI-powered blockchain data analytics platform.

Russell indexes are used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. The annual Russell reconstitution process determines which companies are included in various Russell indexes.
